A great piece of trivia about this song: Brinsley employed a sax on this track and a few others on this album. The sax player was progressive rock's legendary David Jackson of Van der Graaf Generator -- which has nothing in common with Brinsley's music. Jackson's saxophone playing with VGG is closer to a maniacal Roland Kirk than what we hear on this album. But Jackson does do a great job on Funk Angel.
@lastrada52 Well I never knew Jaxon played on this! Doesn't Brins himself play a bit of sax at times? anyway, I love the Brinsleys AND Van der Graaf, so this is great all round.
Great song, had it on a compilation album - All Good Clean Fun, with the likes of Reg King, Colin Scot, Groundhogs and Hawkwind, fantastic stuff, still treasure the album. Thanks for putting it up here.
Great Allmans-style guitar work and another Golden Great from our lads.

Colin Scot's 'Take me away' was another gem from this compilation ...
